What the school offers its staff

As a church school we have a strong emphasis on the provision of a stimulating, secure and caring environment within which all members of our community can develop their potential to the full. Relationships within the school community are characterised by mutual respect; this creates a safe environment where young people can grow and develop, and where learning is valued. There is a strong “vertical” pastoral structure, built around forms that contain students from all five year groups. Our collective worship draws staff and students together and encourages them to explore life’s big issues. The school’s ethos is distinctively Christian but is also inclusive of those of other faiths or none. This gives us a great responsibility as for many of our children Saint Aidan’s provides their only experience of worshipping and growing within a Christian community.

We work closely with our local primary schools, sixth forms, FE providers and universities. Students can participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities and educational visits in this country and further afield. All staff are encouraged to contribute to this programme.

Our school ‘motto’ is taken from John 10 v 10 -”I have come that they may have life in all its fullness”. All we do at Saint Aidan’s is aimed at making this a reality for our students and staff.
